En un pequeño pueblo danés conocemos a dos generaciones de mujeres. Solvej, de 61 años, y Kate, de 17. Su encuentro inicia una amistad improbable, ya que se revelan las heridas del pasado y se siembran las semillas de la esperanza.
The tale of a troubled small town, and the brave few who made it their mission to keep the community together. As the citizens of a secluded Danish town gradually lose their trust in one and other, the sight of a naked man walking through town in the early hours of the morning sets off an unsettling wave of paranoia.
Two Danish youngsters see action in the USSR as volunteers in a special legion under German command in 1944-45. Returned to a camp in their native country, they go AWOL, having first killed a couple of officers. They are now being chased through a wintry Denmark by the German Army, Danish Quislings and the Danish freedom fighters. Love crosses their path when they take a Jewish girl as hostage.
